Self Care = Blissful Intimacy with Laura Aiisha

I’ll always remember when I was broken to the core, at the very beginning of a long healing journey to mend a shattered heart and soul, and my twin sis and I got into a massive fight outside of her little home in Haiku, Maui. She said, ‘You have to love yourself, Laura!’ I had no idea what she meant. I couldn’t even place it... there was nothing to compare it to or balance it off of. I had no idea what she was talking about. Self Love. 13 years ago I began the journey. One foot in front of the other. And, although this episode is not about the specifics of what brought me to my knees and thus home to myself, it is about a self care practice that I’ve generated over the last few years that was completely foreign to me and has supported me on a daily basis to get connected to gratitude, my body and the magic within each day. So join me, your hostess with the mostess, Ms. Laura Aiisha, as I share my morning self care routine, which alleviates anxiety, grounds me in my body, generates gratitude and elevates my energy and cells for an activated juicy day... everyday on Episode 113 of Ignite Intimacy!
